I woke up at 10:20 this morning to the not so pleasant sound of my
machine thrashing. I suppose this is a common experience for Linux users
with little memory, but I have 32 MB, and more importantly, NO SWAP FILE.
So I don't think it was swapping. The system was unusably slow for about
2 more minutes, and then not working too well, so I rebooted.
Everything looks fine, but I have two strange messages.
In /var/adm/messages, on one line, there is a "Starting AFS cache scan..."
in the middle of some line completely unrelated.
In /var/adm/syslog, there's a "sendmail: NO MEMORY!" which tells me that
_something_ was happening. Does AFS do something periodically that I
should know about?
